Excellent holding. Excellent cellphone reception. Quiet, but no protection from wakes. Wind protection is only from the north.

Anchored here north of GICW late in day near sunset. Had 14' depth and good holding. Excellent T-Mobile 5G reception. No shore access as residential and RV park areas lined the waterway. Had one tow boat pass in night with moderate wake.
